I paddle a 17 foot sea kayak and camp out if it for a week or more at a time. The kayak easily carries 80 pounds f camping gear, so we don't "rough it" too much. One important safety feature on a sea kayak is the perimeter line and bow & stern painters on moving water. 3/16 Sta-set Yacht Braid it perfect for these applications as well as tow line and bear hoist lines (to get food out of the reach of bears). This line holds and releases knots typical of kayaking/camping exceptionally well and handles weather equally well. At 1300 pound breaking strength, it will be more than adequate for kayaking/camping application. I have been using some of this line for over 6 years now and it is holding up perfectly. I carry an extra 50 feet for unforeseen emergencies in the wilderness. I also carry some in my car both for road trips and for winter driving.
